Garlic is an excellent home remedy for the heart because it has allicin, a substance that helps to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, as effective as statins prescribed by doctors. To use garlic as a way to prevent heart disease, it is recommended to eat it raw, and a good way to take advantage of its medicinal properties is to take the water flavored with garlic. See the recipe:
Ingredients
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 500 ml of water
Method of preparation
Put the garlic cloves in a glass bottle along with the water, and let it stand for a period of 6 to 8 hours. Shake well. Drink 1 glass of this water fasting and another before going to sleep, every day, as a complementary form in the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
But be careful, as this home remedy should not replace medical recommendations and medications.
For this recipe must be used fresh garlic, because the concentration of allicin in it is higher.
